Tom.... Just bought a new cart last week. I decided to go with the best...Yamaha gas Of course, my opinion. I did add a few options and one that was VERY EXPENSIVE. I added the new high back bucket seats... they are unbelievably comfortable. Also added LED tail lights, high stop light and a 12V power plug to charge the cell phone, etc. Right now, you can get a good discount on a 2010 model, at the The Villages Golf Cart Store, if you're looking for a new cart.

Do yourself a favor and drive both the electric and gas carts. Take them for a good long ride; up and down hills, etc. I really wanted to like the electric, but.... In the end, I liked the maintenance free aspect of the gas cart and it's range, that is only limited to the size of the gas tank.
